14th "Jack Smith Trail Walk" Set for Sunday, April 19
Mon, 03/23/2009 - 4:25pm — Eliot Sekuler
Start: 04/19/2009 - 9:00am
End: 04/19/2009 - 12:30pm
The Mount Washington Association's 14th annual Jack Smith Trail Walk will take place on Sunday, April 19 with walkers departing in two groups at 9:00 am and 9:30 am from the Southwest Museum tunnel entrance at 234 Museum Drive.
Participation is free and children, leashed dogs and all other manageable pets are welcome.
Refreshments and water for pets and people will be provided at Mount Washington School.
The trail route, walked at a leisurely pace and taking between two and two and a half hours, will wind through the slopes of Mount Washington, affording walkers dramatic vistas of Mt. San Antonio, Mt. San Gorgonio and Mt. San Jacinto --Southern California’s highest mountain peaks—as well as panoramic views of the San Gabriel and Verdugo ranges. Docents will call attention to the many notable craftsman and contemporary architectural landmarks that dot the area.
Since the inaugural walk in 1996, two new parks (Moon Canyon and Heidelberg Park) have been added to the community and several rest benches have been installed.
Walkers are encouraged to park on Museum drive or Marmion way or, preferably, to take the Gold Line to the Southwest Museum station, just steps away from the start point.
The Mount Washington School PTA will hold a parallel event for students and their families.
